Kao Dtom Moo-Sub Sai Pak-Kard Kao : ข้าวต้มหมูสับใส่ผักกาดขาว
I was ill for a few months and I felt very tired all the time. I guess it had something to do with not having enough time to rest. My body needed/needs to recover and I didn't allow that to happen at all.
I felt so exhausted on last Monday. I was staying in bed all day.... and all I had was this "Rice Congee with Pork Balls and Chinese Cabbage". Its very easy to cook and its a perfect dish to boost your body on a sick day. (The only thing that might put you off is the cooking time.)

1/2 Cup of Organic Jasmin Rice, cleaned & soaked
1/2 Cup of Organic Whole-Grain Rice, cleaned & soaked

Dear Riya,
I really enjoy to read your blog, and I learned quite a bit from you.
About your recent post: First of all I wish you a good recovery from your health problems.
How would you explain the difference between rice congee and jook or joke, however it should be spelled in English? To me, your picture looks more like joke.
All the best und tanks fo your interesting blog!
Thank you very much Dorrie.
I think my "Kao Dtom" looks very much like "Joke" just like you mentioned. Actually, I wanted to make "Kao Dtom".
To answer your question, "Congee" is more like "Joke" / Kao Dtom is more like "Rice Porridge".
To me, both of them are the same - the only different is the cooking time and how "mushy" the rice has become.
